LAUNDRY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 790,288-, dated May 23, 1905. Application ilefl August 22, 1904. Serial No. 221,673.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, MADISON S. COBB, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hot Springs, in the county of Garland and State of Arkansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Laundering, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in laundering; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts, as set forth in the specification and claims hereto attached.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is alongitudinal sectional view of my invention, the sack at the end of the syringe being partly broken away and hanging loose. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of my invention, the sack holding certain ingredients, the loose end being turned back and bound around the neck of the syringe by a ring. Fig. 3 is a modification of my invention, the sack holding certain ingredients, the loose end being turned back and secured by a spring-clamp.

The object of my invention is to produce a device that will make washingV easier by distributing a soap evenly and equally throughout the vessel which` contains the laundrywater and the clothes to be washed, making a sud or solution of suflcient strength for the purpose of the laundry and applying the same as required, the soap being made of certain ingredients, part being held in the sack and part in the syringe, and applied as hereinafter described.

My invention is described as follows: The numeral 1 represents the cylindrical barrel, which near its front end is compressed into a neck 2, then enlarged into a bulb 3, then again compressed into a nozzle 4C. Torking in the hollow of this cylindrical barrel is a piston 5. Extending rearwardly from said piston 'is la rod 6, and secured to the outer end of said rod is a handle 'Z'. Secured to the outer face of the bulb are two or more spring-hooks 8, and secured tol said lbulb by means of said spring-hooks 8 is one end of a sack 9. This sack may be made of any suitable open-work material. One end of this sack is made to fit neatly around the bulb, while the other end extends forward, and in it is placed a quantity of the {inst-mentioned ingredients 10. Then the extended part 11 of the sack is turned back and lapped around the neck 2 and secured in place by a ring 12, which is slipped down over the said part until it is tight, or it may be secured by spring-catches 13, as shown in Fig. 3.

The water for washing is made ready, of the' required temperature, the liquid-the secondmentioned ingredients-is drawn up into the syringe, the first-mentioned ingredients put in the sack, and the sack secured in position, as described. The sack and nozzle end of the syringe is then placed in the laundry-water, and the liquid-the second-mentioned ingredients-is gradually ejected from the nozzle of the syringe onto the first-mentioned ingredients. When the solution in the laundrywater is suflciently strong, the operation of ejecting the liquid from the nozzle of the syringe is discontinued. But suppose there be a garment in the laundry that requires a stronger solution than do the other garments. 1n that event, if there is not enough liquid in the syringe, I merely loosen the sack, remove it suficiently from the ends of the nozzle, insert the nozzlel into the receptacle that holds the liquid-second-mentioned ingredients-draw said liquid up into the nozzle, and eject it upon the spot of the garment that requires it.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, ancLdesire to secure by Letters Patent, is`

1. The combination of a cylindrical barrel 1, compressed near one end into a neck 2, then enlarged into a bulb 3, and again compressed into a nozzle 4; a piston 5, adapted to work forward and backin said barrel; spring-hooks Y 8, secured to the outer face of the said bulb;

a sack 9, having one end secured to said bulb by means of said hooks, its other end doubled back and folded around the neck of the said syringe, and a ring 12, adapted to be slipped down over the last-mentioned end of said sack and hold the same tightly around the neck of the syringe, substantially as shown andV described and for the purposes set forth.

2. The combination of a cylindrical barrel,

tially as shown and described and for the pu 1 poses set forth. 1o
